Summary/Abstract: Models of scientific communication can be divided into models of communication among scientists and models of communication between scientists and a wider society. This paper is dedicated to challenges related to communication both in scientific field and beyond, and the analysis is based on the conducted expert interviews. The paper’s significant finding is about science democratization in Poland along with its categories emerging from the interviews. The paper discusses the concept of science democratization in the context of possible forms of communication and prospective cooperation between scientists and a wider public in Poland. The paper culminates with the distinction between models of dialog and deficit in communicating scientific knowledge.
